    If you can make it through to the end, you deserve a trophy for perseverance, but if you've been waiting for a rock-solid PS3 exclusive to sink your teeth into, be prepared to be disappointed and just be thankful Uncharted 2 really isn't that far away. Read more

    • Parkour element can be fun, Some story-telling moments are gold, comic-inspired cut-scenes are well crafted, Solid soundtrack
    • Enemy AI is an inconsistent bitch, NPC AI is plain ridiculous, Looks really dated, Mission structure is very formulaic, Barely promotes "sandbox", Can take a long time...

    Those issues aside, InFamous, is a solid game that will delight gamers and is easily one of the strongest games of this or any year. Read more

    How would you handle the burden of ultimate power? Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? Or does it just rock absolutely? Read more

    Although leaping from building to building is a blast on its own, there are worthwhile goodies hidden around the city that give you a tangible reason to explore every nook and cranny. There are 350 blast shards scattered in all sorts of odd places, and collecting them gives you the ability to store more electricity, which means that you have even more power with which to zap enemies and innocent bystanders.

    • Moving around the city is easy and exciting, Fast combat with a variety of awesome powers, Engrossing story with interesting characters, Powerful moral choices, Great ...
    • A variety of both gameplay and visual glitches.

    I know this review has come across as pretty damning, and inFamous has its flaws. The reality is no game has ever really captured the essence of being a superhero/villain quite like inFamous has, and while it might take you a little while to get to a point where you are capable of really showcasing your powers - once there inFamous demolishes all other games. Read more

    • You feel like a superhero., The story is engaging, even if the women are crazy., Lasting appeal, once you forget the side missions.
    • The side missions get a little repetitive. Also some of them are really annoying., It takes some time before you become a full superhero.

    I am going to come out and say it. This is what Assassins Creed should have been, no not a superhero game but hear me out. The parallels between the games are striking, in both you serve as a free running bad ass who gradually begins to build their strength, but while Assasins Creed gives you a poncy sword of +1 damage Infamous gives you Elecro Grenades and Electro Rockets and Electro Grinding and Electro-Healing and all manner of cool Electro- related powers.

    • . Huge Star Wars reference in Lightning Colour, . Best Superhero Game Ever?, . Best Superdick Game Ever?, . Interesting New Powers at good intervals make the game feel...
    • . Enimes are a little to accurate., . Electroshock feels a little spammy, . Cut and Paste side missions
